Anyone familiar with Premiere Debt Solvers?

Do a search for them on this site, then you can read what other members have said about them. I think they are a relatively new business, but I'm not sure. Just make sure you do your homework before committing to this company.

"The man who started this company was an attorney who worked with the creditors on negotiations. Supposedly the company has been around for ten years now."
True, my employer who owns PDS, worked as a bankruptcy attorney in the past and this experience comes very handy in his current business.
Company will be two years old in March. We have expanded our customer service division and negotiation department rapidly in the last few months and efficiency had improved greatly. I am very much looking forward towards October 27th, since the firm has restructured its operations.

I don't recommend that you send any money to a debt settlement company. The best option is pay a debt settlement company a fee after they get you a settlement letter from the creditor or its agent. Call 866-833-6398 they can get you a settlement between 20-30 cents on the dollar.

Horrible company who just takes your money without having any results in resolving your debt. BBB has rated them with an F.

I've given at least $4000 and nothing. I called directly with my creditors and was able to negotiate a payment plan with them that I can afford as well as lowering my balance. Most creditors will work with you because they don't want to lose money.

Try contacting your creditors & negotiate. You'd rather pay them what you can to reduce your debt rather than pay someone else who MAY reduce your debt if not at all.

Once you go to a debt consolidation company, you no longer have control. Good Luck!

These people are a bunch of thives. My wife and I were in good standing with our creditors, but we were strapped, because of medical issues with our 3 year old my wife had to take a leave of absence. To make a long story short these people say they have a relatonship with cc companies, but what they really have is people that can lie really good. We did our own research and found out the negotiations with the cc companies do not start until after 36 months, meanwhile the cc companies can come after you and sue you like they did us. We spoke to Premier and they told us not to worry that they would handle it and did not. Once things started going bad they decided they would not return our calls. After about a month of trying to get them on the phone they finally answered and the guy that anserwed which was the guy that lied to us from the begining decided to start passing the buck to our counselor to the office manager to the shift manager and so on. This was at the begining of Jan 2011. To this date no one has called back and we are probably going to lose the money we put into it. I have contacted my attorney and he is willing to file suit. If anything, anyone who decides to work with these people beware or you might get in deeper than we were for $1300.00. You are better off if you are 2 months behind contacting the cc company and they will work with you, sometimes even settle without having to use these phonies.

I don't remember them ever telling me that they begin negotiations after 3 years. It was more like 4 to 6 months. Anyways, I took the advice on here and was able to cancel the program within the 30 day window, otherwise, I would've been ROYALLY had.

i entered into the program late oc 10, send 3 months worth of payments had crediters calling everyday. let me just say the are scammers, they keep 12 months worth of payment as their "fee" so for 12 months you are paying them, having crediters calling all day and night and nothing goes into your account to pay off your bills. SCAM dont do it, i lost every bit of my money i sent them, i wont see a penny of it. we were so stupid. we call all of our crediters and they lowered interesst on all of the to .50% or even 0% and lowered the amount we owe and we have a set plan now with nothing going to interest anymore. you can do this by yourself you dont need a company to do it for you

I have been with Premier for 14 months and am 1 payment from being debt free. I originally had a 3 year plan with them to settle 2 credit cards with balances totalling 33,400. Six months into the program I borrowed from my 401K to settle the larger of the 2 accounts. They were able to get me an 8,000 settlement on a 22,500 balance. I was very pleased with this. Then, when tax refund time came, I was able to get my second account settled. The balance was 10,900 and they got me a settlement for 5600. Overall I am very pleased, however I did have 4 different representatives over the course of 14 months. Only one of them bothered to contact me to let me know that they would no longer be my rep. Really that is my only complaint.
